Those who know me are acutely aware that I shy away from color in my own life. My closet is a mix of black, white and navy, and I can say the same about my apartment. But something in me is attracted to strong jolts of color right now: Maybe it’s because of summertime, the countless ice cream trucks I pass on my commute or the Blondie music that’s on repeat in my head. Whatever it may be, these happy hues are guaranteed to satisfy that craving and be the mood-boosters we all need!
